B.6.6 Network configuration in the Solaris container (physical IP takeover)

This section describes an example configuration procedure of the network shown in the diagram below.

If the Standby patrol monitoring function is not used, omit 5) in the procedure for setting up on each host.

[HOST-A]

1) Setting up the system

1-1) Define IP addresses and hostnames in /etc/inet/hosts file.

192.168.70.1    hosta    # HOST-A Virtual IP
192.168.70.3    hostb    # HOST-B Virtual IP
192.168.70.10   zone0    # zone0 Logical IP
192.168.70.100  swhub1   # Primary HUB IP
192.168.70.101  swhub2   # Secondary HUB IP

1-2) Write the hostnames defined above in /etc/hostname."interface-name" files. If a file does not exist, create a new file.

- Contents of /etc/hostname.hme0

hosta

1-3) Define the subnet mask in /etc/inet/netmasks file.

192.168.70.0    255.255.255.0

2) Reboot

Run the following command to reboot the system. Make sure hme0 are enabled as IPv4 interfaces after rebooting the system.

/usr/sbin/shutdown -y -i6 -g0

3) Creation of virtual interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha0 -m e -i 192.168.70.1 -t hme0,hme1

Ensure that the physical IP address specified using option '-i' is the same IP address configured in /etc/hostname.hme0.

4) Setting up the HUB monitoring function

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll create -n sha0 -p 192.168.70.100,192.168.70.101 -b off

5) Setting up the Standby patrol monitoring function

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha1 -m p -a 02:00:00:00:00:00 -t sha0

6) Change the method of deactivating the standby interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetparam -d plumb

7) Activation of virtual interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/strhanet

8) Starting the HUB monitoring function

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll on

9) Set up a zone

Set up a zone by executing the following command:

/usr/sbin/zonecfg -z zone0

9-1) Create a zone.

zonecfg:zone0> create
zonecfg:zone0> set zonepath=/zones/zone0

9-2) Specify an IP address that is allocated to the zone and the virtual interface name that is defined in NIC switching mode.

zonecfg:zone0> add net
zonecfg:zone0:net> set address=192.168.70.10/24
zonecfg:zone0:net> set physical=hme0
zonecfg:zone0:net> end

If you specify the redundant physical interface in NIC switching mode, specify the primary physical interface.

9-3) Check the above setting.

zonecfg:zone0> export

9-4) Check setup consistency.

zonecfg:zone0> verify

9-5) Register the setting.

zonecfg:zone0> commit
zonecfg:zone0> exit

10) Install the zone

Install the zone by executing the following command:

/usr/sbin/zoneadm -z zone0 install

When a zone is booted for the first time after installation, the zone is in an unconfigured state. Therefore, it is necessary to define an internal zone configuration. Please refer to the manual of Solaris for the definition methods.

11) Start up the zone

Start up the zone by executing the following command:

/usr/sbin/zoneadm -z zone0 boot

[HOST-B]

1) Setting up the system

1-1) Define IP addresses and hostnames in /etc/inet/hosts file. Defined information is the same as for HOST-A.

1-2) Write the hostnames defined above in /etc/hostname."interface-name" files. If a file does not exist, create a new file.

- Contents of /etc/hostname.hme0

hostb

1-3) Define the subnet mask in /etc/inet/netmasks file. Defined content is same as HOST-A.
